Embodied Dancer Pro 60 Dance-specific yoga teacher training – ​2016 entry now accepting applications

Somatic practices, Training, Workshops

The UK’s only dance specific yoga teacher training. Embodied Dancer Pro 60 is  aimed at those yoga teachers already qualified who would like to work with dancers, or dancers and movement professionals who would like to use yoga in their rehearsal, performance or training environments.

It will not qualify you to be a yoga teacher but can serve as additional hours for those already training, or just as a way of enhancing your existing skillset.

What the course covers:

  • The relevant anatomy, physiology  and biomechanics of dance and dancers including dance injuries and how to use yoga in both pre-hab and rehab: 
  • Investigating the nervous system – constructing yoga practices that address issues such as, performance anxiety
  • Restorative yoga practices that can be incorporated into rehearsal, training or performance situations.
  • Navigating the demands of the profession – overtraining, burnout and perfectionism.
  • Disordered eating and negative body image. How the principles of yoga (non-harming, self-study, acceptance and self-care) can be taken into the dance training environment (and beyond).
  • Constructing a safe and effective 6 week plan for use either in educational settings or as part of professional environment
